Hello,
I have an iPhone 13 and I want to share my PC's internet with it. What tool should I use?

Thank you.
 
So you want your PC to make a WiFi network your iPhone can connect to? How does the PC get Internet - via Ethernet?

If my understanding above is correct, do a web search on “create WiFi hotspot using Windows {10/11}”

Hello,
Thank you so much for your reply.
My PC connects to the internet via Ethernet and I don't have Wi-Fi.
 
So you want to physically plug the phone in, to get Internet?

Maybe? Never tried. I know you can get USB-C to Ethernet adapters.

If the Ethernet is a modem, though, it probably only supports one device (I.e. only will provide one IP address). So you’d need a 2nd Ethernet port on the computer to turn it into a “router” - or - use the phone INSTEAD OF the computer.

Yes.
My PC on a local network receives internet via Ethernet. I want to connect my iPhone to the PC via USB port and use the PC's internet.
